Thanks, you guys. I think I really just needed to vent a little. I wondered if anyone here had ever dealt with similar symptoms (no - not looking for a diagnosis, just similarities - sorry if I was unclear ). I'll probably talk to my regular doctor, and see if she can clarify things a bit. We don't have a urologist of our own here - this guy travels 100 miles a couple of times a month.

Running Mommy - I can't imagine being in your shoes. That has to be really tough. I hope everything turns out okay for you.

Shellyj - I'll read up on rhabdomyolsis - I haven't heard of that.

Boy, I really want to ride to work tomorrow, but I'm so uncomfortable from my exam, I don't know if I'll be able to sit on a bike saddle by morning.
